Lions and tigers, and bears, oh my! - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
L. Frank Baum
Oh, I see said the Tin Woodman. But, after all, brains are not the best things in the world. Have you any? enquired the Scarecrow. No, my head is quite empty, answered the Woodman but once I had brains, and a heart also so, having tried them both, I should much rather have a heart.
L. Frank Baum
. . .It is the Law that while Evil, unopposed, may accomplish terrible deeds, the power of Good can never be overthrown when opposed to Evil. . .
L. Frank Baum
I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp...
L. Frank Baum
I'll miss you most of all scarecrow.
L. Frank Baum
No, indeed I don't know anything. You see, I am stuffed, so I have no brains at all.
L. Frank Baum
Toto did not really care whether he was in Kansas or the Land of Oz so long as Dorothy was with him but he knew the little girl was unhappy, and that made him unhappy too.
L. Frank Baum
I shall really be very unhappy unless you give me the sort of courage that makes one forget he is afraid.
L. Frank Baum
It must be inconvenient to be made of flesh, said the Scarecrow thoughtfully, for you must sleep, and eat and drink. However, you have brains, and it is worth a lot of bother to be able to think properly.
L. Frank Baum
A baby has brains, but it doesn't know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get.
L. Frank Baum
You see, in this country are a number of youths who do not like to work, and the college is an excellent place for them.
L. Frank Baum
Stunt dwarf or destroy the imagination of a child and you have taken away its chances of success in life. Imagination transforms the commonplace into the great and creates the new out of the old.
L. Frank Baum
You have plenty of courage, I am sure, answered Oz. All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.
L. Frank Baum
I think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it.
L. Frank Baum
As a matter of fact, we are none of us above criticism so let us bear with each other's faults.
L. Frank Baum
People would rather live in homes regardless of its grayness. There is no place like home.
L. Frank Baum
A little misery, at times, makes one appreciate happiness more.
L. Frank Baum
Never give up. No one knows what's going to happen next.
L. Frank Baum
Mortals seldom know how greatly they are influenced by fairies, knooks and ryls, who often put thoughts into their heads that only the wise little immortals could have conceived.
L. Frank Baum
I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.
L. Frank Baum
